The latest

So with my recent addiction to Pinterest, I came across a saying that was "Never give up on something you can't go a day without thinking about."  Well, I think about a lot of things that I definitely should give up on, but I took it as a sign that it meant my blog. I want to write. All the time. It is just that time does not permit, nor does my wacky health issues lately. I need to get better about this. Seriously. Don't I say this all the time?

Today I am having another craft sale since the neighborhood is having a sale. It has not been nearly as successful as the one I had months ago. Oh well, it is money I did not have before and I hope more people come tomorrow. Fingers crossed! I have so much stuff I need to get rid of. it is overwhelming. We have been donating a ton of things but the thought of how much we spent for stuff is driving me nuts. I guess it is beneficial for the tax break.

We finally got everything out of the town home, and now it sits in our basement staring at me, begging me to unpack it. It is so overwhelming. I don't know where to begin so I just continue to look at it. You never realize how much crap you have until you have to move it, and man, I have a lot of crap.  The garage sale today makes me think I should have kept some of the stuff I donated. People want random things today. Kids toys, jewelry, etc. Oh well. Nothing I can do about it now. A lady just told me I had the best sale of anyone so let's hope people come. I posted it on Craigs List and there is still tomorrow so let's hope for more people!

Onto another topic: my health (once again). I went and had my MRI results told to me and of course, all looked ok. Bryan went with me and nailed the doctor down asking him what else can be done. He also asked him if it could be my diet. He has been adamant that it has been my diet the whole time. The doctor said it could be part of it, it could also be anxiety, etc. The nurse in the room said she had some of the same symptoms and it was partly her thyroid but also the way she ate. She gave me a handout on The Yeast Diet. I had suspected that yeast may be the cause of some things that are wrong with me but the more I read about it, the more it seems like it might be the answer. Problem is, with my diet it is so hard to get rid of yeast, to eliminate yeast, etc. She told me to do this diet and avoid all sugar and all yeast. You are not even supposed to eat fruit since there is sugar in it. No milk because there is sugar in it. No bread, no crackers, basically everything I like is off limits. There is no guarantee that this is the cause of my issues, because there really are no tests. You can do the saliva test:

I did this yesterday and I had lots of "legs." It was scary. The more I am reading about this, the more scared I am, but the more I begin to think this is my issue. I am going to see another doctor on Wednesday to get my thyroid tested more thoroughly. I pray he can prescribe something. I am doing a natural cleanse through medicine and drops and the drops are disgusting. Horribly disgusting. I am trying to cut out yeast and sugar but do you know how hard that is?!  Yeast and sugar are in everything. Even milk has a ton of sugar in it. This is brutal. I am not being fully strict which is probably not good, but I will talk to the doctor more about it and see what they have to say. It has not been fun and I am seriously missing my bread, orange juice, potatoes, pretty much everything I love. The brain fog has gotten worse but I read that can happen when you detox. I wonder if that is what I am doing. I hope I am getting rid of some of the bad things. I just want to feel better.

Back to the garage sale. Nothing is happening. Nada. I have sold about $50. The last time I did this, within the first 3 hours I had over $300. Stinks. Bryan did not want me to do this-thought it was a waste of time. Maybe it is but hopefully tomorrow will be better.

Thats about it for now. I will try and write more soon. These have not been funny entries at all :(
